I think that the last one is absolutely superb!
The light on his face coming through the window he's washing, his gear tucked into his belt and the towels over his shoulder, Dane being "in action" ... very well captured moment with the right exposure and DOF. The noise does not bother me at all (or does it when I notice it?).

thanks, and what type watermark, you just mean with transparent text or otherwise?

also, i strongly disagree about the first being better as a horizontal. as a horizontal i couldn't fit everything in the frame (not that thats bad) but as a result of that i would lose the diagonal slope which i find to be very attractive.
